My Riffs

Be good. So often we want to respond to ugliness with ugliness. But be good. Don’t perpetuate hate.  Do good. Be good. Do the right thing. Always. 

Most people don’t need my opinion.  The older I get the fewer opinions I even have to give What people want and need is my care. If people know I care, only then could they possibly be ready to accept something I have to share opinions on.  Good advice is, withhold your opinion unless asked. Instead, share your care. 

It’s a simple thing, but it does so much. Get outside, get a little sunshine. Go for a little walk. Simple and highly effective. 

It’s on the sender to make sure the communication is clear.  The communicator has to make sure the message is clear and received.  The art of communicating requires practice and refinement. Good communicators often practice and learn how to get better at it. It’s a practice well worth it.  

The work you do when nobody’s watching is what really matters. Because it shows what your constitution is.

Making friends usually requires being friendly. And being friendly means being warm and inviting.  It’s no easy task getting along with a cold person. Be warm and you’ll attract friendships.
